The Apocalypse: A Devotional Approach to the Book of Revelation

By David Quek.H.K

Look at the world today! We are living in days of trouble times. The breakdown of democracy in many places has put this globe towards an autocratic or a dictatorial rule. These have led to many demonstrations, some even violent ones, leading to the loss of lives and properties. Nations are revolting against one another in the quest for world dominance. The age-long conflict in the middle east between Israel and the Arab world is fast leading up to a boiling point. The rise of superpowers antagonistic towards Israel warrants our attention that a possible world war may not be far-fetched. What about climate change and global warming that has taken its toll on our earth? Global warming is but human-made mishaps in the good name of Industrialization. What about pestilence, famine, and catastrophic natural disasters ravaging the Earth, causally linked to humanity's so-called - "Advancement." Our value systems are thwarted. Today, we can regard evil as good and good in our forefathers' days as evil. A child could be born to determine its' own sex when it is clear the sex is determined at the point of conception. It is absurd when a baby's sex at birth is ignored and left for its own to discover! With same-sex marriage on the increased acceptance worldwide, the ideal parenthood and family as God intended to be is jeopardized. Indeed, we lived in an evil and corrupted world today! Little wonder, the Bible tells us in 1Peter 3:10 - that this current evil world would be burned up with intense, fervent heat! While Genesis, the first book of the Bible, is about the beginning of human history and the world, Revelation, the last book, is about the end of human history and the world we lived in. It is about the Lord Jesus Christ's coming to set up a new kingdom - God's Kingdom on earth. But before He can set up the new kingdom, he must put out the old kingdom. Before He can set up the Kingdom of God, He must abolish the kingdom of this world. Jesus Christ is the only qualified and worthy person to end this evil world's history and re-create a new heaven and a new Earth. This world had been on the decline, going from bad to worse since the fall of man in Genesis 3. From Paradise formed to Paradise lost, when sin entered the human heart - this world is on a spiral deluge to all forms of evil and corruptions. The world we lived in is not going to get any better. No amount of humanity's progress and modern technological advancement could make it better. According to the Book of Revelation, the Apocalypse reveals the end-times events leading to the end of our world. It is the prophecy of Christ's second coming to end this evil world and set up a new world. This book - The Apocalypse, is a unique attempt to present the Book of Revelation in the Bible more 'palatable' to most Christians who would otherwise even wish to open it. I trust in breaking into bite-size daily devotional would undoubtedly increase the possibility of reading Revelation.
